Jennifer Aniston recently discussed the current state of comedy and its evolving standards during the debut of her new Netflix comedy, Murder Mystery 2, alongside Adam Sandler. "Comedy and movies have progressed," Jen told French news agency AFP. "However, it's a bit tricky now because you have to be cautious, making it increasingly challenging for comedians. The charm of comedy lies in making fun of ourselves and life," she explained before going into detail. In the past, "You could make jokes about bigots and find it hilarious. It was a way to educate people about how absurd people were," Aniston said. "But now, that's no longer acceptable or considered funny by many."

Gwyneth Paltrow's security wanted to extend their gratitude to courtroom bailiffs during her Utah ski collision trial. Prior to testimony yesterday in Paltrow's trial, the actress’ attorney Steve Owens made a request to share "treats" with the courtroom staff. "I want to do this transparently… Private security for my client wanted to bring in treats for the bailiffs for how helpful they've been," Owens said before Judge Kent Holmberg. Paltrow is on trial, which began Tuesday, after being sued for $300,000 by Terry Sanderson, who claimed in 2019 that she seriously injured him during a crash on the beginner slopes at Deer Valley Resort in Park City in 2016. Sanderson's legal counsel objected to Owens' motion to bring in treats for the bailiffs. "Ok, there's an objection so thank you, but no thank you," Judge Holmberg said, adding, "If the parties decide to do that later, that's fine, too." It's unclear what treats were being offered, but the star has many offered on her lifestyle website Goop or her cookbooks, including "The Clean Plate: Eat, Reset, Heal" and "It's All Good."

During a recent interview, Elton John discovered the true inspiration behind his 1972 song "Rocket Man," much to his surprise. The singer sat down with the track's co-writer, Bernie Taupin, and the two uncovered that Elton had never known the story behind his own song. Elton and Taupin first met in 1967 after responding to an advertisement for songwriting. Five years later, they released their first hit track, "Rocket Man," which Elton described as an easy song to write a melody for due to its spacious theme. It was during this interview that Taupin finally revealed his original source of inspiration for the track, which Elton had been previously unaware of. “It was actually a song inspired by Ray Bradbury from his book of science-fiction short stories called The Illustrated Man,” Taupin explained. “In that book, there was a story called The Rocket Man, which was about how astronauts in the future would become sort of an everyday job… so I kinda took that idea and ran with it.” To this, Elton responded: “Do you know, I never knew that.”

Khan also expressed her disbelief at Adele's ranking at number 22 and Mary J. Blige's ranking at number 25, stating that the Rolling Stone editors must be blind and in need of hearing aids. She even went as far as to say that they must be the children of Helen Keller.

The legal team representing Jussie Smollett has filed an appeal brief, outlining their argument against the actor's conviction for orchestrating a hate crime hoax. According to the documents, the team argued that Smollett's "renewed prosecution" violated his due process rights, and that the judge's denial of the defense's motion for substitution of judge for cause was improper due to the judge's explicit bias towards Smollett. The brief also claimed that the trial court violated Smollett's due process rights by making "inappropriate comments" during cross-examination that impacted the jury's ability to provide an unbiased verdict. In 2021, a jury found Smollett guilty of five of the six charges of disorderly conduct against him after a two-week trial. Smollett had reported to Chicago police that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack in January 2019, but the investigation turned towards Smollett and he was later arrested on charges of orchestrating the attack and lying to police about it. Smollett's legal team had planned to appeal the verdict since the trial concluded in December 2021.

In an era marked by conspiracy theories and subterfuge, the show aims to investigate how much of these forces are actually our own creation, or even a product of our imagination.” De Niro, who will play the role of a former US president, will also serve as an executive producer for the limited series.
